Make an interactive piece of software for people to learn more about mapping...

Things like faulty sensors making it misbehave, too much advance creating cracks of det etc.

Not so much a game - just an interactive piece of education type software

Sounds interestimng, and id love to be involved in it,. but where the hell would you start?

Also, it would be cracked and on the internet within 20mins so nobody would earn anything.

Something like an interactive engine dyno would be the place to start i think...

However - you're absolutely right in terms of piracy...

Be stupid to have to spend more money and time on protecting the content than developing it

How about looking into Engine monitoring and maintance.

Not something massively technical but key to keeping a car on the road

Could you an article more naturally aspirated like indvidual throttle bodies, prehaps a good follow on from cylinder head flow? I only buy FF every other issuse but as suggested above it is ussally turbo biased.

But then again I suppose the majority of 80`s-90`s ford where turbo.

Got the CD off a mate - had a good play around with it but even with silly values in the ignition tables and fuelling - couldn't get it to misbehave
